The boundaries of the artwork visibly change the perception of the seemingly unshakable physical laws. For example, the works of writers of the beginning and end of the twentieth century, who created samples of the so-called.

Why is Kemeny’s constant a constant? [PDF]
Abstract In their 1960 book on finite Markov chains, Kemeny and Snell established that a certain sum is invariant. The value of this sum has become known as Kemeny’s constant. Various proofs have been given over time, some more technical than others.

Alpha: A Constant That Is Not a Constant? [PDF]
We review the observational information on the constancy of the fine structure constant alpha. We find that small improvements on the measurement of ^{187}Re lifetime can provide significant progress in exploring the range of variability suggested by QSO data. We also discuss the effects of a time varying alpha on stellar structure and evolution.

Determination of the spring constants of the higher flexural modes of microcantilever sensors [PDF]
Funding: University of St Andrews.A method for the simultaneous calibration of the spring constants of all flexural modes of microcantilevers is presented. It is based on a flow of gas from a microchannel that interacts with the microcantilever.

Understanding the logical constants and dispositions [PDF]
Many philosophers claim that understanding a logical constant (e.g. ‘if, then’) fundamentally consists in having dispositions to infer according to the logical rules (e.g. Modus Ponens) that fix its meaning.

On the Khintchine constant [PDF]
Summary: We present rapidly converging series for the Khintchine constant and for general ``Khintchine means'' of continued fractions. We show that each of these constants can be cast in terms of an efficient free-parameter series, each series involving values of the Riemann zeta function, rationals, and logarithms of rationals.
